To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WrLLiAn Nifon'rn hun SON, a citizen of the United. bit-aies, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cool: and State of Illinois, have invented a new and use'lul Sheat-Ca1-rier for liarvesters, ol which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of she/at carriers which are attached to seit-binding harvestcrs; and the objects ot my invention are, first, to provide a carrier of minimum weight and. cost; second, to secure a carrier which shall carry the sheaves equal to the best in use and dump them in bunches on the ground more perfect in all conditions ot' grain l. attai n these obleets by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing@ in whreh- Figure l is a top view ot' the carrier and that part of the harvester connected therewith. Fig;` i2 is a front ond view. Fig'. I3

shows a part of the receivingtaine, looking at its outer edge.

.Similar letters re ler the several views.

In the drawings, A represents a part ot the harvester, which is of the usual `form, and is only introduced here to show its rela-tion to the carrier, an d needs no detailed description here.

B represents the binder, attached to the harvester.

B is the binder-deck. A

According to the organization et the meehanisni here shown the receiving-table C is hinged to the binder-decks B on the lower edge, which construction is recoininemled, though it is very-evident that it could be hin ged to the harvestertraine or au extension therefrom. Table C is held in receiving' position by the operatingtoro. if, ext-ending from its fastening' on arni 'D over thc 'frictionsheaves ci to the foot-lever E, conveniently placed to be operated by the driver, Figs. l and `2. Since the receivingiable'() is adapted to dump its load by dumping its outer edge to a vertical or nearly vertical position, it is evident that the width of this recciving-ta ble will be .limited to what will be a safe distance 'for its lower edge from. the ground when the harvester is working on its lowest tolihe parts throughout 1889.

cut and the table in its vertical. position to discharge its load.

in the organization of the harvester and binder new in common use the receiviire-tan ble alone is too narrow to carry the number oi? sheaves desirable to be dropped in one place, and to remedy this detect l pivot the extensionuods C near the outer edge ot the receiving-table. 'lhesc rods are. pivoted to the receiving-table on pivots substantially perpeiulicular to its upper surface and are adapted. to swing backward freely, but are limited in their 'forward movement by the stops e to about a right angle to the line of movement ot the harvester. The table U is provided at its 'liront end with the guard ci to prevent the sheavesircm sliding lorwa-rd en dwise, as also to strengthen it.

Having` described the general construction ol` my carrier, l uish io call attention to some ot its novel. features.

rlhe reeeivinuY positioi'r ol table t? is nearly horizontal, inelining somewhat downward. at its outer side. The ertensituvrods are prei'- crablypivotcd on the upper side the table and must be bent up\'-.'ard enough toholdthe sheaves. l preter to malte an upwardly-iuclined bend in the rod, beginning at the odge of the table, when the rods are extended iu a receiving position, as seen in Figsi l. and 3. By reference to Fig'. 2i it is seen that the sheat passing 'from the table (i must .necessarily bring the receivingiods into position to hold its load until the table is dropped and. the sheaves discharged. ii'hen the receiving-table is bein g raised. from its verti cal. position, the weight ot the extension-rods tends to bring them. into their shea'helding position. A spring c' is' shown acting; upon the trout rod, i. and 3,whieh tends to bringl it into receiving' position.

'lhe receiving-table in discharging' position. is nearly vertical, and the hinges o i the extension-rods are d rawn toward the luuvcster the width of the table t", while the rods swing backward, permitting a free discharge ot the sheaves. The inclinations ot table C and rods C in discharging; posit-ion depend Aupon the construction et the harvester and the height at which it is adjusted. to out. \Vith some, when. on the high eut, the table and IOO
